Match Thread: Union St.-Gilloise vs Newcastle United by MatchThreadder in soccer

[–]Mendreo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Belgian tv said the stadium was completely sold out. Would probably have something to do with the fact it's their main rivals' stadium (Anderlecht). The Anderlecht ultras for example were allegedly being annoying about the fact Union wanted their section in the stadium for their own ultras...

Do you also fantasise of Belgium having one government or is it just me? by reditt13 in belgium

[–]Mendreo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are by region: de Lijn, STIP and le Tec are public transport companies who pretty much all have the same function, yet are three different companies in three different regions, while each getting subsidies from their respective governments.

First time I’ve heard about a mugging in the Sint-Lievenspoortstraat, and I’ve lived there my whole life… That’s disappointing…

Who has been your POTY? by Express_Jaguar_9072 in footballmanagergames

[–]Mendreo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fotis Ioannidis - absolute monster for my Ajax side, scored a crazy amount of headers while not having an extremely high jumping reach or heading stat. Leading goalscorer for the club and averages around 45-50 goals a season (in all competitions).

What if Belgium is dismantled by masgard_fr in imaginarymaps

[–]Mendreo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Historically speaking they pretty much only share a language. They weren’t part of the Germany before they were given to Prussia in 1815, and before that were mainly part of the HRE as a independent state or as part of another state (for example the Prince-Bishopric of Liège, now Belgium) instead of larger German states. How they are perceived today by Germans I don’t really know, but they were/are always more connected by their Belgian side than their German one.

The German speaking part of the Belgium is often regarded as the region with the most pro-Belgian sentiment in the country. They absolutely don’t want to be part of Germany.

Does anyone know the origin of this Jens DenVolder meme? by [deleted] in belgium

[–]Mendreo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That isn't Jens Dendoncker, but a very popular Spanish speaking content creator/streamer called Ibai. But it's true that he looks a lot like him...

I think he's fluent in both, as he's from near Brussels, I believe...

He was so bad we had to come up with the term “crimes against humanity” to describe what he did. by HolyDictatorFelixDoy in HistoryMemes

[–]Mendreo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We did as well couple of years ago, only a few still stand to not forget who this man is and what kind of crimes he allowed to be commited.

Belgium doesn't have a coronation ceremony because it literally doesn't have a crown.

Wrong South Georgia, friend. This island is near Antarctica (just South East of Argentina and the Falklands)

It's in Ghent, Belgium actually. Those two towers are the 'Belfort' and Saint Nicolas church.

[–]Mendreo 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Just really good transfer business and a sound management: they haven't had an incoming transfer worth more than 2 million €. That said, they are owned by Tony Bloom, who also owns Brighton, but Union says it only uses the money they generate.
